@Stardust HaTS β Benchmarking user happiness since 2014

@Catweazle thanks! I am so happy now!
BTW you are hired to the Google Tracking&Ads department aka Happiness Tracking Surveys (aka HaTS) dep.

@Stardust , to clarify the difference, G uses an algorithm for user happiness, in Vivaldi the team does.
A stalker does not make me happier, although he smiles and carries flowers. -
@Gwen-Dragon
but with happiness.

@guigirl thanks for the info!

@guigirl This seems to be Google's official page, for now:
https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandbox
Vivaldi goes to that page when you click on "Details" in the Privacy Sandbox UI.Oh - and according to the EFF page the only way to opt-out is to disable third-party cookies. There won't be the opt out in settings until later.
I enabled privacy sandbox settings, see below, Google really wants to show how great it is for privacy, the word privacy is written 12 times despite the UI being nearly empty.
And I enabled happiness tracking surveys, so I can tell google how (un)happy I am.

Don't go online, or you are death.

@guigirl hmm
A publisher (like a website or app) asks a user for their personally-identifying information (PII), like an email address or a phone number.
They think users would provide the same email and not a disposable ones :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:
We should have a list of all sites with this crap in our uBO so it could warn us to avoid such sites -
@guigirl Gargle is the one who wanted to eat all the smurfs, or?
-
@guigirl Oh god, IΒ overlooked that. Itβs our last minutes :o
Do you have anything important to tell me before it all ends? -
...

Interesting list, although things that I know are still missing

@Catweazle I don't know, like a lot of these things, there's a lot of hypotheticals here.
First an attacker would need to inject their code into the page. I guess depending on the kinds of sites you visit and type login data into this may or may not be an issue. If you do a lot of "walk on the wild side" in the seedier parts of town then maybe multiple layers of protection is necessary.
Personally I wouldn't be too worried or feel a need to install an extension just to defend against this hypothetical.

By chance, the author's homepage

https://www.mike-gualtieri.com
And the source code from the extension, for those who are interested
